Hyperpigmentation can occur on anyone at any given time. Some types of hyperpigmentation can be prevented, but others occur as a result of genetics or things outside of your control. The good news is most forms of hyperpigmentation are harmless and can be easily removed with a laser therapy treatment. The QuadroStar Pro Yellow laser is the top laser in the industry today and is effective at clearing up virtually any type of hyperpigmentation you have on your skin. Here are some of the different types to be aware of.

Sunspots

Sunspots are the most common types of hyperpigmentation since everyone spends time out in the sun. Some of the spots are more prominent than others, depending on the length of sun exposure over a long period of time. These are identified as being isolated dark spots on areas like the arms, face, neck and other parts of the body that are exposed to the sun regularly. The pro yellow laser for hyperpigmentation can quickly get rid of sunspots to even out your skin tone again.

Melasma

Melasma is characterized as being dark and discolored patches of skin. Most of the time melasma will be present on the face and is most commonly seen in women. While there is no definitive determination of the cause of melasma, laser therapy is an effective treatment option at clearing up these dark patches of skin for good.

Freckles

Most people have freckles somewhere on their body. Sometimes they are present at birth. Other times they will develop throughout a person’s life and will often develop in areas that get extensive sun exposure. Freckles are flat on the skin’s surface and are pretty small. However, many freckles over the body can be unattractive to some people. If you’re tired of looking at freckles, the QuadroStar Pro Yellow laser is a great option for removing them safely.

Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation

Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation can also be referred to as dark spots that occur as a result of an acne breakout. These spots vary in severity since some acne breakouts are more severe than others. Your medical professional can evaluate this type of hyperpigmentation, but most of the time the QuadroStar Pro Yellow laser treatment is the best option for getting rid of it.
